` Application ned october 25,1904. serai No. 229,986.

To a/ZZ whom t may concern.-

Be it known that I, LOUIs GOLDMAN, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of St. Louis,Missouri,have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Display-Fixtures, o1c which the following is aspecilication containing a full, clear, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention relates to improvements in display-xtures; and it consistsof the novel features herein shown, described, and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front elevation of a display-fixture,parts .being broken away to show the construction and the bearings beingshown in section. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a display-fixture locatedin a display-window, the window being shown in section and the floorbeing broken away. Fig. 3 is a perspective, upon an enlarged scale, ofone of the corners, showing the details of construction, parts beingbroken away t economize space.

Referring to 'the drawings in detail, the bearing-block 5 is constructedof wood and secured to the floor 6 by screws 7. The bearing-plate 8 isconstructed lof metal and has a central boss 9 embedded in the block 5,there f being a funnel-shaped bearing-opening 10 in the upper face of.the plate and extending downwardly into the boss 9. 'Ihe conicalbearing 11 fits in the opening 10. A cup 12 extends upwardly from thebearing, and a ange 13 extends outwardly from the upper edge of the cup,said bearing, cup, and fiange being formed integral, preferably bycasting. The large grooved pulley 14 is secured to the iange 13. Thespindle 15 is inserted downwardly through the pulley 14 through the'ilange 13 into the cup 12, and angle-bars 16 are placed upon the pulley14 against the spindle 15 and secured in position by nails or screws, soas to connect the parts all together. The bearing-block 17 isconstructed of wood and secured to the ceiling 18 by screws or bolts 19.The thimble 20 is placed upwardly through the block 17, and a flange 21extends outwardly around the lowe'r end OI" the thimble. A pintle 22fits in the thimble 20, and the cap 23 extends downwardly from thepintle, the upper end 1 of the spindle 15 being mounted in the cap. Thelower cross-pieces 211 and 25 are secured tothe spindle 15 in horizontalparallel positions. The side pieces 26 and 27 are secured between theends of the cross-pieces and extend upwardly parallelwith the spindle.The upper cross-pieces 28 and 29 are secured to the upper end of thespindle and to the upper ends of the side pieces 26 and 27. Braces 30and 31 are secured to the spindle near its lower end and plete rug. Thefixture isflocated in a central position upon the display-floor 34 andinside of the display-window 35. A cord 36 extends from the small pulley37 of the motor 88 around the large pulley 14, so that no counter- Shaftis required to run the display-fixture at a comparatively low speeddirectly from the high-speed motor.

I claim- In a display-fixture: a suitable spindle rotatably mountedbetween the ceiling and the loor of a display-window; a frame built uponthe spindle and adapted to carry a rug upon each face; a large pulleymounted upon the spindle; a motor; and a cord connecting the pulley ofthe motor to the large pulley; substantially as specied.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name `to this specification inpresence of two subscribing witnesses.

LOUIS GOLDMAN.
